haut-fond : On relève que l'usage, à tort, a fait de «haut-fond» et de «bas-fond» des synonymes. Cet usage est fautif car «haut-fond» a comme antonyme «bas-fond» qui, dans son sens exact, mais moins connu, représente une dépression et non une élévation du fond de la mer, d'un fleuve ou d'une rivière, où l'eau est très profonde. Entité sous-marine attestée au Qué. surtout mais aussi en N.-E. 2, record 1, French, - haut%2Dfond
